- **Caution**: 

### Q: What are the primary applications of rotary gas injectors in basic metal manufacturing?
**A**: Rotary gas injectors are primarily used for degassing molten metals like aluminum, steel, and copper alloys by introducing inert gases (typically argon or nitrogen) to remove dissolved hydrogen and non-metallic inclusions, improving metal quality and reducing porosity in final products.

### Q: Why are materials like refractory ceramic and Inconel alloy used in rotary gas injectors?
**A**: Refractory ceramic components withstand extreme temperatures (up to 1600°C) in molten metal environments, while Inconel alloys provide excellent corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and durability against thermal cycling, ensuring long service life in harsh degassing operations.

### Q: How does the rotary injection system improve degassing efficiency compared to stationary methods?
**A**: The rotating shaft creates fine gas bubbles and distributes them uniformly throughout the molten metal bath, significantly increasing gas-metal contact area. This enhances hydrogen removal efficiency by 30-50% compared to stationary lances, while reducing gas consumption and processing time.
